How about (in)courage? - Dayspring's blog and marketplace for the hearts of women? It' has also become a meeting and connecting place - with community groups, book clubs and conferences! It's grown so much!

A while back Laura made a few pieces for a teacher friend to hang in her classroom. They turned out great, don't you think?

Teachers have one of THE most important and hardest jobs in the world! I was reminded of this last week when I went to my first time of volunteering in my kindergartener's class. Man, those kids are busy and so much more is expected of them academically than when WE were in kindergarten! I was super impressed by how his teacher has everything organized so that they can work independently, quietly and the whole time! (their 3 rules of workboard time.) ....and they do it! It's so fun to see my 6 year old excited about learning and starting to read. It's really a magical time that sets the stage for his entire academic career!

We love our new alphabet collection for "This Thing Called Family" because it's so versatile and personalize-able - is that a word?

In case you were curious about what each of the individual letters look like, here you go:

There are also a few key words available to help you create just the right message for your home.

We love the idea of creating a focal point - a unique wall in your home that can be a conversation piece that tells a story, welcomes guests, or portrays who you are and what you value most. You can go a step further to personalize the wall by adding photos of the important people in your life with these frames that coordinate:

There are shelves in 2 sizes if you're interested in creating a "mantle" or a more linear grouping:

3ft shelf

2 ft shelf

Here are a few more examples of how you could use these pieces to create something awesome:
